IN the 1990s, Galaxy P gained national prominence with the hit song Miss Goodie Goodie, which featured singer Colin Roach. Relocated to the United States, the dancehall deejay is harbouring international aspirations for his latest project The Boy From Macca 3.
“Macca Tree (district) is a significant place to me. It’s a place where I grew up and I want people to know my humble beginnings. It’s where I’m coming from,” he told the Jamaica Observer.
“I’ve been through a lot there. I decided to bring myself back from where I’m coming from to remind myself where I am and where I’m going. I do music that will last for a taller time, not just for now,” he continued.
Galaxy P (given name Peter Jackson) was born at Spanish Town Hospital in St Catherine and grew up in Macca Tree district. He attended Tacius Golding High School in the parish.
He said he always wanted to be a dancehall deejay, much to the disgust of his mother. “Music was always inside of me,” he said.
In 1992, he got his big break with Miss Goodie Goodie. It went to number one on JBC’s Top 30 and RJR’s Top 40 charts. It remains Galaxy P’s finest moment.
His other releases include Tickle Her Fancy, Trilogy, Fat Sexy and Round, Give It Up with Junior Tucker, and It Good with Suku from Ward 21.
In 2012 the deejay migrated to the United States.
With the onslaught of the coronavirus, Galaxy P added that listeners needed a breath of fresh air. For this reason he decided to release the album.
“We’re still in a pandemic. People still need something to give them hope, whether it’s a pound of flour, sugar, barrel, or something in Western Union (remittances). I think I’m that hope, musically,” the deejay added.
